Hey Joe,
When I ordered my accralite pistons, I also recieved rods, but I just assumed everyone beefed up the rods when they went with forged internals.
I agree, I assume a lot of things are "understood" when tuning/building a car, but since you specifically mentioned a piston brand and nothing about rods at all, that looked odd

. Especially here where even a spark plug change is usally spelled out word for word with pictures

.. I am just used to seeing that here and I guess I was doing my own "assuming"...
I must say, that is pretty impressive. It just seemed fishy- your original post made it "sound" like an otherwise stock setup running 15 psi going 119 (screw the ET- 119 is moving for this car

!!!) on 116 race fuel. No mention of the Nitrous either- that played a BIG part of it- a 75 shot on a turbo car is worth damn close to 100- maybe more due to the increased cooling also.
I am curious if you were able to control timing on your car with the E-Manage? Some people say yes, others say no.
Man, as impressive as your run is, it sucks

- because now I have to turn up the wick sooner than planned

... I wanted to see how far the stock stuff would go first so I can help the rest of the guys out who don't want to do a major buildup what to do and then go all out once that is accomplished..
About the turbo again- are you still running the stock bearing housing and turbine? Sounds like you just upgraded the wheel and compressor.
